SHEET-METAL VESSEL.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 309,710, dated December 23, 1884.

Application filed March 8, 1884. (No model.) f

' To all whom, 25 may concern:

Be it known that I, JAMES S. HAGERTY, of the city of Baltimore and State of Maryland, have invented certain Improvements in Sheet- Metal Vessels, ofwhich the following is a speciiication.

This invention consists in forming the hinge which connects the lid with the body of a coffee-pot or other similar vessel of a-duplicated strip of sheet metal and a wire staple relatively arranged, as will hereinafter fully appear. l

In the accompanying drawings, forming a part hereof, Figure I is a sectional view of the upper end of a codec-pot embodying my improvements, and showing the lid closed. Fig. II is a similar view of the coffee-pot with the lid open. Fig. III is a top view of Fig. I. Figs. IV and V are enlarged views of the hinge, the latter being a section taken through the dotted line x x, Fig. IV. Figs. VI to XII, inelusive, illustrate modifications in the construction of the hinge and the manner of its attachment to the lid and body.

In the drawings, A is the body of the coffeepot, and B the lid. G is the hinge, which consists, essentially, of a strip of sheet metal, a, duplicated or folded around a wire, b, which is bent in the form of a staple. The hinge is attached by soldering or riveting one or both ends of the duplicated strip a to the lid and soldering the ends of the wire to the handle D.

In Figs. I, II, and III the ends of the duplicated strip a are inserted through a slot in the lid, above the rim c thereoiiand soldered to the innerV surface of the portion of the lid which enters the body of the vessel; and the ends of the wire staple I) are passed through holes in the handle and soldered thereto.

Fig. VI shows the duplicated strip fastened underneath the crown ofthe lid.

In Fig. VIII the duplicated strip enters the lidY underneath the rim c and is turned down, while in Fig. IX the strip is turned up.

Fig. X shows the wire staple extending entirely across the handle, in order to obviate the necessity of perforating the same, and' it is either turned under the handle, or not, as may loe desired.

In Fig. XI the relative positions of the two parts or members of the hinge are reversed, the wire staple being attached to the lid and the duplicated strip to the handle.

In Fig. XII one end only of the strip is soldered to the lid.

I am aware that lanterns have been made with the top or flange duplicated around the wire frame at one end and formed into a hook, and adapted for attachment to the said frame at the other, and this device I disclaim.

I claim as my invention As a new article, a hinge adapted for appli-A cation to a sheet-metal vessel to connect the body or the handle and the lid, which consists of a strip of sheet metal duplicated around a wire bent in the form of a staple, substantially as specified.
